Creative Live Cam Optia Webcam

This inexpensive, portable Webcam takes surprisingly good video, but it lacks an integrated microphone.

Integrated clip so you can attach it to a notebook, Good-quality video in moderate lighting

Lacks integrated microphone, No auto-focus

Excellent Camera!

The optia is extremely easy to use with just a need to plug and use. Video quality is excellent and sharp. Very cool privacy feature that turns off the camera with just a twist of the head. Design is nice too, with a cool blue glow.

Plug & play convenience, good looker and great video quality

Not so tiny in size

Description a bit misleading.

Still worth it, ok camera. Design of product is decent looking.

It's an alright webcam. Acceptable resolution

Best Camera I've Ever Used
